What time? o soul, God knoweth best,
BE sure twill come when It's most meet,
And in such blest assurance rest.
BE patient then and wait for God.
He orders nothing wrong for thee;
Sweet flowers OF hope shall deck the sod,
Glad birds shall trill their songs for thee.
And when the birds shall greet thy view,
And when the radiant flowers shall spring,
He will unfold them fair and new,
And tune thee, heart, with them to sino
Fret not to-day, for from His hand
Some glad surprise will yet unfold
To-day the bud -dost understand
Tomorrow shines the heart OF gold
He knoweth best, then trust the rest
TO Him with faith unfalterlng:
Pursue no more thine anxious quest
His wisdom is unfaltering
